Saxophonist Louise D.E. Jensen Interviewed

Source: JAZZ RIGHT NOW.

Louise Dam Eckhardt Jensen is a fiery alto saxophonist originally from Denmark who spends a good portion of each year in New York. Over the past decade, she has worked with figures such as Peter Evans, Tom Blancarte, Weasel Walter, Brandon Seabrook, Kevin Shea, Erica Dicker, Matt Nelson, and many other figures on the New York scene. She has three exciting performances booked in New York this Summer and also has five new records, all with different bands, to be released in the latter half of 2016. Ms. Jensen’s work in improvisational music possesses a deep resonance with her life philosophy, which she discusses along with many of her musical projects in the interview below. She also talks about the political meaning instilled in her songs through her defiant critique of contemporary society both in the United States and Europe.
